Forgive yourself, so small, so new, Crying for things you never knew. The world was vast, so strange, so wide, With wonder mixed with fear inside. Forgive yourself, that child so wild, Who raced through days with hopes so mild. You whined for toys, for treats you craved, You thought the world was there to save. Forgive yourself, that heart so young, For every note that love had sung. For trusting all, for giving much, For chasing hearts that couldn’t touch. Forgive yourself for dreams once high, That soared too quickly to the sky. You set your sights on distant shores, And hoped for paths to open doors. Forgive the home that isn’t bright, The cold nights spent in fading light. The warmth that left when love was lost, The endless tears, the untold cost. Forgive your body, worn, too tired, For all the moments it’s required. The aches that form, the pain you hide, The cracks that show with time and tide. Forgive regrets that whisper low, For paths you missed, the seeds not sown. For moments lost, for choices made, For dreams you chased that soon did fade. Forgive yourself when memories fade, When thoughts are lost, when edges trade. For youth that slips like grains of sand, For moments held within your hand. And when you stand where time has passed, Let love, not guilt, be what will last. For every laugh, for every cry, For all the moments that passed by. ••• dear human, enjoy phases of life, for life is like a vapor, here today, gone tomorrow. and learn to embrace ups and downs of life. and may we always choose to forgive ourselves no matter how unforgivable. and always remember that we can always shift paths and start again. your thoughts matter. your reason is valid. YOU MATTER. hang in there 🤗💪🏼
